So basically take all the money we have right now and somehow increase spending on all of these programs, got it.

> Allow more vertical building.

The rest maybe, but this is a core issue. And I don't know how you can read that quote and go "that's increased spending".

No, I'm from another country. From my point of view it's more like stop wasting money for other useless purposes so we can grow. If we've been able to survive, no doubt the USA can thrive.

I'm pretty sure the USA has been thriving for a while

Not sure if you didn't understand or you're being deliberately obtuse to make another point. Of course the implication was that the USA can still thrive even spending that money, a pittance compared with public expenses in other areas.

I don't share all the points of the originator of the thread (was it coldtea?), you might find interesting which ones I didn't mention, but some of them are a good idea even from the point of view of more affluent people.
